Historical Note: The H&K Tunstall cup and saucer and plate in this set comes from a fascinating period in British pottery history. During World War II, the British pottery industry was heavily restricted under the Wartime Concentration Scheme to conserve materials and energy for the war effort. As a result, decorated pottery was produced mainly for export, making pieces like this rare and significant. The "B" backstamp marks its manufacture for export during this period, reflecting its historical importance.
This unique set would be a wonderful addition to any vintage collection or as a statement décor piece.
